Two enemy starships have become trapped within the confines of a powerful warp bubble. To collapse the bubble and escape, an energy surge is required -- the energy of an exploding starship ought to do it... Weapons and shields share a single power source for each ship. Shields deploy automatically when a collision is detected. If there is not sufficient energy to deploy the shields, any collision destroys the ship! "Power Pods" occasionally appear in the battle field -- intercept one of these to fully recharge your power banks.

The inspiration for Dueling Starships originated from the 1970s-era Asteroids and Space Wars arcade games. Thanks to the scratch community for providing the backdrops and sounds we used; all the code blocks and sprite artwork are our own design.
